[140617.EN.BIZ] Qatar Carrier Taps Mumbai Cargo Access to Sidestep Arab Boycott

QATAR's Milaha Maritime and Logistics has been shifting focus from Dubai to India and the Middle East to reap transshipment cargoes resulting from the diplomatic row that has cut off supply chains to and from the oil-rich Persian Gulf nation.

The short-sea ship operator this week announced a new feeder link between Mumbai's Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) and Doha, and upgraded an service on the route by adding a call at Sohar, Oman.

Omani ports - Sohar and Salalah - are not part of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) boycott/blockade over Qatar's defiant indifference to their opinions, and is willing to trade with Qatar, reports IHS Media.

The new service, named the India-Doha Express (IDX), will connect the ports of JNPT and Kandla, both on India's west coast, to Hamad Port in Doha.

The service will begin with the Hansa Magdeburg, voyage 719E, departing from Kandla on June 15 and arriving at Hamad-Doha on June 22, according to a company customer advisory.
